Convert All Caps to Readable Text Without Losing Names

November 5, 20263 min read

Paste the all-caps text into the Case Converter and pick Sentence case or lowercase. You get readable text instantly, but the converter does not know which words are names or acronyms, and Sentence case only capitalizes the very first letter. Plan on a quick fix-up pass.

Case Converter with Sentence case selected: PLEASE BRING YOUR NASA BADGE. THE MEETING IS ON MONDAY. becomes Please bring your nasa badge. the meeting is on monday.
Sentence case: only the first letter stays capital. Open the Case Converter.

Step by step

  1. Keep a copy of the original text.
  2. Paste this into Input Text:
    PLEASE BRING YOUR NASA BADGE. THE MEETING IS ON MONDAY.
  3. Under Conversion Options, click Sentence case. The output is:
    Please bring your nasa badge. the meeting is on monday.
  4. Click Copy and fix three things: NASA, Monday and the The that starts the second sentence.
Please bring your NASA badge. The meeting is on Monday.

All Conversions list for the same input: UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case, Sentence case and Capitalized Words outputs
The All Conversions list. Capitalized Words leaves all-caps text unchanged, so it does not help here.
  • lowercase: everything lower. Good for tags or when you will re-capitalize by hand.
  • Title Case: every word capitalized, including Is and On. Best for a heading draft, not a paragraph.
  • Sentence case: first letter only. Later sentences start lowercase.

Don't convert identifiers with the prose

URLs, code, usernames, coupon codes and passwords can be case-sensitive. If a message mixes prose with a code like SAVE20 or a link, convert only the prose part, or restore those strings from the original afterward.

If it doesn't work

  • Second sentence starts lowercase: expected. Sentence case looks at the start of the whole text, not each sentence.
  • Names came out lowercase: expected. Search the result for proper nouns and fix them; a long text is easier to check paragraph by paragraph.
  • Output box is empty: the Input Text box is empty, or the text was pasted into a different field.
